The Indo-pacific Sailfish is the fastest fish: 68 MPH in short bursts. Think about that. It can swim literally as fast as a Cheetah can run through water which is 800X more dense than air.

Remember our Monk Fish? Do you like scallops? If you do and you are going to a new resturant and see "Sea Scallops" on the menu, make sure to ask if they were harvested from a bay. If not you might be eating this guy:

Some fishmongers sell cookie-cutter Mako Skark as Sea Scallops.

It was recently announced that this movie would be getting a reboot. Why? I have no idea.

Let's go back to our Mako Shark. It is the fastest shark in the ocean: 45 MPH. That also makes it one of the fastest fish in the ocean. It's flesh can be eaten by humans. Quite tasty too

Lobsters have longevity. We know they can live to at least 100 years old. When they get they old they get big. REAL BIG. The biggest lobster on record weighed an astounding 44 lbs, 6 oz. This lobster was an astonishing catch made in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1977.

The rarity of different colored lobsters shows how a split-color lobster is even less frequently found. The chance of a blue lobster is 1 in 1 million to 2 million lobsters. The chance of a red lobster is 1 in 10 million. The chance of a yellow lobster is 1 in 30 million. The chance of a split lobster like this one is 1 in 50 million. The chance of a white or albino lobster is 1 in 100 million.

Typical of split-color lobsters, it is gynandromorphm, meaning it has both male and female characteristics.

Lobsters are not the only animals that can be gynandromorphms. Butterflies can be too.

The right wings are characteristic of female coloring, while the glitzier left wings show off male colors.
